apps

A mobile application or app is a computer program or software application designed to run on a mobile device such as a phone, tablet, or watch. Mobile applications often stand in contrast to desktop applications which are designed to run on desktop computers, and web applications which run in mobile web browsers rather than directly on the mobile device.
Apps were originally intended for productivity assistance such as email, calendar, and contact databases, but the public demand for apps caused rapid expansion into other areas such as mobile games, factory automation, GPS and location-based services, order-tracking, and ticket purchases, so that there are now millions of apps available. Many apps require Internet access. Apps are generally downloaded from app stores, which are a type of digital distribution platforms.
The term "app", short for "application", has since become very popular; in 2010, it was listed as "Word of the Year" by the American Dialect Society.Apps are broadly classified into three types: native apps, hybrid and web apps. Native applications are designed specifically for a mobile operating system, typically iOS or Android. Web apps are written in HTML5 or CSS and typically run through a browser. Hybrid apps are built using web technologies such as JavaScript, CSS, and HTML5 and function like web apps disguised in a native container.

    Advice on the best charging apps & charging strategy when on a trip?

    Hi All So I've owned my standard model MG4 since September 2023. In that time I've only made one, what I would call, long drive. It was from Edinburgh down to the south Ayrshire coast but I managed it, with a little trepidation, in one shot with about 17% battery left. That was plenty to get me...

    Charging apps pet peeve

    Whenever I download and try an app to find charging stations or charge at them, they all seem to have various colour codings for the chargers on the map but no key. The latest is VendElectric, which apparently I have to use for holiday cottage charging. The chargers are blue or green but there...
